Content of Learning Activity
The course will be divided into two modules including parasitology and mycology. The following topics will be developed specifically in the parasitology module: Part 1 general introduction: general characteristics of parasites (definitions, classifications), vectors, their pathogenic powers, the fundamental bases of antiparasitic treatments and prophylaxis and the diagnosis of parasitic infections in the laboratory. Part 2 special parasitology: This part of the course will deal more specifically with the different pathologies associated with the main protozoa (digestive, urogenital, blood and tissue), helminths (nematodes, cestodes and trematodes) and arthropods responsible for infections in humans with their development cycle, their associated pathologies, their epidemiology and their diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Part 3 antiparasitic agents: This last part will briefly describe the main antiparasitic agents, their mechanisms of action. The following topics will be specifically developed in the mycology module: Part 1: General characteristics of fungi (definition, morphology, metabolism), fundamental bases of antimycotic treatments and diagnosis of infections in the mycology laboratory Part 2: The main fungal infections including cutaneous mycoses (dermatophytes), opportunistic mycoses (aspergillosis, candidiasis, pneumocystis, etc.) and dimorphic mycoses (histoplasmosis, etc.) will be described in detail, with their clinical, epidemiological and therapeutic aspects. Part 3 antimycotic agents: This last part will briefly describe the main antiparasitic agents, their mechanisms of action.
